MassDOT said Wednesday that an open-tolling plan, set to be rolled out on the Massachusetts Turnpike in 2016, will restore tolls to West Newton, but drop them in other areas.

The new plan eliminates the old ticket and toll booth system, and drivers will be billed based on the segments of the highway they travel. The distance traveled will be calculated by sensors when vehicles pass under gantries along the route.

Currently, 10 gantry locations are planned for each direction of the Pike.

Under the new plan, every time a two-axle passenger vehicle passes under a gantry, the vehicle will be charged 40 cents, MassDOT said.

In 2016, driving the Pike may cost motorists more or less than what they currently pay, depending on where they travel, MassDOT said.

The plan removes tolls between interchanges 4 and 6 in the greater Springfield area and between interchanges 10 and 11 near Worcester.

Currently, no toll is charged when traveling from Interstate 95 to exit 17 in West Newton, but a gantry will be installed in that stretch. Like other segments, passing under that gantry will be 40 cents, MassDOT said.

But it's not all bad news for West Newton drivers. According to MassDOT, a trip from West Newton to Copley Square will only cost $.80 in 2016 versus the $1.25 drivers pay today.

The original West Newton tolls were eliminated in 1996.

MassDOT will also roll out open tolling on the Tobin Bridge this summer.
